    The Ethical Issues Surrounding Abortion The abortion debate is one that has baffled the world for centuries, and in the process has made this debate more complex and controversial. The abortion debate handles the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ associated with the deliberate termination of pregnancy, which ultimately destroys the fetus.[1] Around the world, abortion has become a very sore topic, with many men and women finding themselves in a moral dilemma with regards to pregnancy termination.[2] This polarising topic has either supporters or opposers, with very few that remain undecided. There are two main questions that are often raised in this moral debate.…

    This article, written by Giuseppe Benagiano, was written in response to Robert Edwards after he won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2010. Benagiano writes primarily about how the Catholic church feels about Edwards being named the winner. Edwards won the prize after he had developed In vitro Fertilization, or IVF. The catholic teachings go against what Edwards created and Benagiano writes about the conflicting views. This article incorporates the previous article written by Ford by tying in the Ford said the embryo must be protected as it is classified as a “potential human person” (Benagiano 4).…

    Contrary to popular belief, abortion is not safe as what is said. Medical physicians and religious figures around the world work in constant effort to try to educate those who seek abortion, and guide them into the direction of their best interest.

According to Students for Life of America, “nearly 1 in 4 (22%) of pregnancies end in abortion” and while “ 1.1 million U.S. abortions each year”.…

Where life is created within a lab, a fetus can be genetically modified before it’s born and the type of repercussions that can take place. The very introduction to these types of new ideas and advancements can only leave us to question our own morality.…

    He warrants that since the embryo has not been implanted in the uterus, it is not a human being yet, therefore he justifies that there is nothing wrong with practicing on a cell that is not a human yet. He strongly backs up his warrant by using the morning after pill as an example of something that people use that is justifiable for treating a cell that is not a human yet either. The author asserts the moral views of the people that do not agree with the research, various times throughout his essay he uses morality and human rights to argue against the practice. Watts utilizes credible sources such as The National Bioethics Advisory Committee, to state their opinions on the rights of embryonic stem cells. They believe that the "blastocyst must be treated with respect appropriate to early human embryonic tissue, but is justifiable if it's used in research that aims to save or heal human life" (Watts, 460).…

    Abortion is one of the most controversial and hotly debated topics of this day and age. The reason for this surrounds the idea of whether the induced expulsion of the fetus is murder or rather in the interest of the mother. Pro-life activists debate that all life in the instant of its conception is innocent and deserves a chance at life. God chooses its time of life and death, not the mother. Pro-choice followers often argue in favor of science and the United States Constitutional Ninth Amendment, which holds freedom of choice sacred.…

    However, abortion and birth control are not only the issues in reproductive rights. A new layer in the discussion of reproductive rights that evolve with the development of technology is surrounding surrogacy and the picking and choosing of certain traits. The Assisted Human Reproduction Act deals with this very new phenomenon and bans the fabrication of human embryos for research, creation of human and non-human hybrids, the alteration of human DNA. In more detail the act as Sullivan suggests, “distinguishes between two kinds of embryos: "reproductive embryos," which qualify as almost human life and cannot therefore be bought and sold, and "replicative embryos," whose potentiality is not in producing life but in producing health benefits and which may therefore be inserted into a system of economic exchange” (cite). Additions to the movement of reproductive justice such as these exposes that even with the progress that has occurred from earlier generations, there is more discussion that needs to happen and advances that need to be made.…

    Lee and George’s paper “The Wrong of Abortion” details the moral wrongness of aborting embryonic beings as it is essentially justified non-intentional killing. Reasoning provided by Lee and George are faulty as it neglects to consider the consequential factors that affect child after birth, complications that arise with giving your child up for adoption and how the abortion can benefit the mother and child. Lee and George begin the paper by defining that embryos and fetuses are essentially immature but complete human being and that after complete fertilization, an individual human is formed. They argue that the baby can feel pain and that it should be considered just as any regular being because of they have their own distinction, they have…

    Reproductive rights are the subject of extensive debate in capitol buildings and classrooms alike. In fact, just the other week, a friend and I got into a heated argument over the autonomy of a woman versus that of a fetus. My friend believes that a woman's right to make certain choices- namely abortion- end when fertilization occurs. Conversely, I'm very pro-choice for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I consider myself a feminist and as such value an individual's right to determine their own medical procedures in a higher regard than a fetus.…
